The locos, who hadbeen hugging them to their bosoms for thebenefit of their votes, for the last fewyears, found the "Canallers" had set updecision tion was grdtitly moved. Hence the pub-jlic meeting, and the determination to con-test the election on the ground that alienscould not hold offices. But the loco focoshave "come it" over their late allies afterall.

The motion was resistedby A. Huntington, Esq., States Attorney,'and overruled by the Judge. A motion!was then made by the prisoners council!to reduce the bail ($S000) on the ground'of its being "excessive" and thereforeagainst the letter and spirit of tho stateconstitution. But the Judge decided thatthe order of the Circuit Court fixing the!bail must be taken as proper and conclu-:sive until the council, prove affirmatively!by the facts and circumstances of the case,which did not appear of record, that the'bail was excessive—and that if such evi-fdence was gone into, the States attorney,would of course have a right of present-!ing his proofs-and then the prisoner must'run the risk of having the bail increasedinstead of diminished. The council onconsultation concluded not to go into thecircumstances of the case.

As the proceeds are to be devoted to laudable objects, we are gratified to see the publicinterested in this matter, and wish Sylvester & Co. all luck in disposing of thetickets, and conductingr as sole Agents,this Mammoth affair.Here is the opinion:"The undersigned has been asked hislegal opinion upon the right of Messrs*Schmidt and Hamilton to organize andcarry into effect a Lottery under the lawsof Florida. It appears that an application was made by them to the LegislativeAssembly of the Territory for such a!privilege, which was granted by the Senate and Legislaiivfe Council, and vetoed!by the Governor. It was ascertained that!by a previous act in force, and unrepealedcertain Commissioners therein namedwere authorized "to raise such sum or)sums of money, by lottery, in suchscheme or schemes as they may deemappropriate or advisable," to complete a!Court House and Seminary. The Commissioners have deemed it "appropriateand advisable" to adopt this scheme,!which they have a perfect right to do, solong as the act stood in force, and withoutlimitation an to time. It is urged that1such an act, for such a purpose, was not[intended for so large an operation: theanswer is obvious, that the Legislaturehas not specified the extent or duration ofthe scheme. The discretion is given tothe Commissioners, who have acted uponthe subject, and it is not not in the power of the Governor, Legislature or Judiciary, to hinder or obstruct, in any manner,the execution of any plan as the Commis-!sioners shall agree upon."I am of opinion, therefore, thatSchmidt and Hamilton have the legalright to execute the scheme agreed on,1in concurrence with, and under the legal,authority of the Commissioners. I have1seen the paper signed by the parties, andconsider it sufficient in law to authorisethe scheme for the disposition of the ar-'cade, and other propertv in New Orleans.'"JOS. M.
